Cheng Yi and Shi Yee were at their company talking to their staff members when suddenly the secretary came.
"Ma'am, there's an urgent phone call. He says he's the prince." She said, half giggling.
"Huh? Okay. Shi Yee, why don't you proceed first." Cheng Yi said and went to answer the call.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Cheng Yi! I need you to plan my wedding." A manly voice interrupted before she could ask who was it.
"Okay. But may I know who are you?" She said with a sweet voice.
"Sorry about that. I am Brian Bakes Queensland, you can call me BBQ. I am the prince of Bakry. My friend told me about your company." The person, BBQ introduced himself politely.
"Yes. Prince BBQ, how may I help you?" Cheng Yi asked.
"I need you to help me plan my wedding." He said excitedly.
"Alright. So may I know when's the wedding?" Cheng Yi took her schedule book and a pen from the desk.
"The chancellor said two two two for couple, so its the 22nd of February, on Tuesday." Cheng Yi checked the calendar, it was exactly 2 weeks away.
"Okay, just to inform, we'll be charging 30% more because of the limited time." She said through the phone.
"The queen has lots of money, don't worry."
"Do you have any theme in mind?" She asked while flipping through the collection albums. "We have white wedding, fairytale wedding, zombie wedding, star wars wedding, harry potter wedding..."
"Could you make like... something like a banana theme?" He tried explaining. "Like banana decorations instead of flowers?"
"I think we can manage that. Anything you wanna add?" Cheng Yi asked while drafting the wedding in her schedule book.
"No. Thank you." He said and ended the phone call.
"Well, that was fast. I haven't finish asking yet." Cheng Yi scratched her head.
"Cheng, my dear, who was it?" Shi Yee was beside her.
"A prince that wants us to plan a banana themed wedding. Call an emergency meeting, we need this done within 2 weeks." Cheng Yi told her husband and went to her office to get the necessary documents.
After 20 minutes, all the staff members are gathered at the meeting room. Cheng Yi made a briefing of the wedding and divided the staff into teams that manage the seating, food, wedding reception, decorations, guest list and miscellaneous.
As one week passed by, everyone did what was needed to be done. Some of the staff prepared the guest list and invitation cards. Some searched throughout every supermarket to every orchard in the area to collect enough bananas for the decorations. The bananas have to be half ripen so that they won't rot before the wedding. Some went to the finest restaurants to order the best cuisines for the perfect wedding.
"Ma'am, the prince called again." The secretary knocked on Cheng Yi's door. Cheng Yi nodded and answered the call.
"Hello prince BBQ. What can I do for you?"
"Cheng Yi? I think I didn't mentioned about my fiancee. She's a pure jungle girl and her name is Tarzana. Could you make a gown for her? I need it to be custom made from banana leaves and the tailors just don't know how to." He was panting.
"I think I can make it. If you could tell Tarzana to come to my office for measurements." She suggested her to come for more accurate measurements.
"She can't go. But the queen will send the measurements through e-mail. It's R0ya1eBakry@bakry.com Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep..." The phone call ended.
"What is the matter with him ending phone calls like that. Shi Yee! Shi Yee my gold bar~" Cheng Yi called out from her office.
"Dear, who was that?" Shi Yee came into her office with a cup of milk.
"It was the prince. There's one more week and we still have so much to do. Now I need banana leaves." She sighed.
"Chill. I'm going to collect the new batch of bananas. I'll collect some beautiful big shiny banana leaves. Love you." He said and left her to enjoy the warm cup of milk.
Cheng Yi spent two days to make the gown. She had use special thicker threads for sewing so that the banana leaves held together. Before the final touches, she asked Shi Yee to try it out for her since he and Tarzana had similar figures.
"No way I'm wearing that DRESS!"
"Protesting is not going to help me with the work. Come on, I need you to model it for me, please?" She looked at him with big shinning black pupils.
He took the gown and went to change.
"Are you done yet? Come out, I wanna see." Cheng Yi was getting impatient while Shi Yee was struggling with the dress and making sure to not tear the delicate leaves.
Shi Yee walked to Cheng Yi, nearly tripping.
"Like it? Can I change now?" She shook her head.
"Go outside and walk a bit. I want to see if it can stand ruffling. And I need to clear my mind by not seeing the gown for 20 minutes. Have fun!" She waved Shi Yee out.
Mumbling and grumbling, Shi Yee walked through the streets, looking at the ground. He didn't want anyone to recognize him. Good thing he had shoulder length hair to cover a part of his face.
Suddenly, a gust of wind hit Shi Yee, making him sneeze.

Anniversary: Banana Durian War Part 2
PART 1
@@
"Ah-chooo!"
Shi Yee just couldn't hold it in.
"Why is it suddenly colder?" He thought to himself. Something's wrong. He felt...
Shoot... The gown had a big tear and the wind is blowing directly at his bare skin...
"No!!!"
It flew off him!!!
Shhhhhhhooot!
"Hey man!" He turned around to see a person passing him a durian skin.
He took it immediately and covered himself. Forgetting that durians have SPIKES.
"Shhhhhhhhhoooot!" It was making tiny holes in his palms but he couldn't let it go. It was just too embarassing.
BLING BLING
Shi Yee had a fabulous idea.
He ran back to the office, not wanting anymore people to stare.
He sneaked into Cheng Yi's office to get his clothes. Luckily she was asleep.
She was sleeping so peacefully. He gave her a peck on the cheek. "I'll make it up for you."
He then took his car keys and drove to a durian stall. He collected many durian skin and took them to his own office.
After locking himself in the office alone for half a day, he came out, holding a...something... a durian... durian skin gown.
"Cheng, I made this. It should be fine, rite?" He asked.
She was tired after managing the staff members and was still lacking sleep because of the gown.
She kissed him and smiled. "I think it should be okay. It is very unique, I believe he would like it. Take a photo and e-mail it." She yawned and went to get a cup of coffee.
He took a few photos from different angles and e-mailed them. He got a reply immediately-- pure satisfaction
For the next few days, the staff worked overtime to do finalization on most of the details. The ingredient was taken by the staff for quality inspection.
The menu include finger licking banana recipes like banana salad, fried banana, banana sandwich, banana milkshake, banana juice, banana pudding, banana ice-cream, banana fudge, banana rice, banana glutamate rice and banana split.
The wedding cake is made up of 2x2x2, 8 layers. It took the baker quite awhile to prepare a stable stand for it. It was a banana cake covered with banana cream. There were banana pieces on top and in the middle of the cake was a banana-carved bride and groom.
One day before the big day, Cheng Yi received a phone call from prince BBQ.
"I need to see you. I'm standing in front of your company." He hung up immediately, again.
Cheng Yi went to invite the prince. It was the first time they met. He was good looking, meaning candy gorgeous good looking. She led him into her office and gave him a cup of coffee.
"I'll just be frank." Prince BBQ stated and took a big breath.
"I don't want to marry Tarzana." He kneel down on one knee and took out a diamond ring with the perfect cut at every angle.
"Cheng Yi, I want to marry you."
There was silence.
He continued, "I want to marry you ever since Rengga told me about you."
"Rengga?" Cheng Yi was confused.
"He said you saved him, gave him a new life. I admire you, liked you. Now, looking at you, I know I love you."
"BBQ? Why are you doing this to me?" Tarzana in tears, stormed into the office. She heard everything.
She wiped away her tears. She turned to Cheng Yi. "You! You! I will never forgive you for taking him away from me!"
She pounced on Cheng Yi and hit her, punch her, pulled her hair. BBQ stood dumbstruck.
"AHHHH!!! What are you doi...AHHH!!! Stop it!!!" Cheng Yi tried to fight back.
"Why do you want to marry her! Why! Why!" Tarzana kept hitting her in the face.
Shi Yee rushed to the office when he heard the commotion.
"Stop it! Stop hurting her!" He shouted while pushing Tarzana off Cheng Yi.
"My love, are you alright?" Shi Yee helped Cheng Yi up from the floor.
Suddenly, someone punched Shi Yee in the face, vibrating his skull as he cried in agony.
"What was that for!?" He shouted at prince BBQ.
"She is my love. Mine only." He threatened and pulled Cheng Yi to his side.
Shi Yee couldn't control his temper and started throwing bananas at the prince. How could someone just take her from him!!!
"Don't do that to my prince!" Tarzana tried to hit Shi Yee but Cheng Yi blocked her way.
And
Both of them started a cat fight while the two men were having their food fight.
"STOP THIS INSTANT!!!" All four of them turned to the office door because of the scream.
It was the queen.
"BBQ." She walked towards Shi Yee and pulled him by his collar.
"You will marry this lady here!" She commanded while everyone was surprised by her sudden entrance.
She never let go of Shi Yee, thinking it was the prince. Shi Yee choked and couldn't utter a single word.
"You, jungle girl. Tarzana, follow me. I have a present for my future daughter-in-law." She smiled to her and they walked out of the office, the company and into the royal car. Shi Yee was dragged all the way into the car.
Cheng Yi and prince BBQ was still in the office, they couldn't react to what had happen.
"Why... why... why... what on earth has happen???" She mumbled.
The prince held her hand.
"Cheng Yi, will you marry me now?" He said smiling.
She sighed. Then, pissed off, she hit him on the head and he fainted.
"Weak." She grumbled.

"Where is Cheng Yi? She's been missing for days! What are we going to do?" The secretary called Hemlatha who was in Korea.
"We got no choice. The wedding still needs to go on. Calm down. You guys do everything according to the plan, just like any other wedding. I'm putting you in charge, Minzzi." Hemlatha couldn't go back immediately as she was busy with the newly set up franchise.
"I'll try my best ma'am." Minzzi said, half-confident.
It was the day.
People were gathered at the palace garden. The garden was decorated with durians; apparently, the fruit dealer mixed up the orders. He shipped the bananas to Madagascar when it was suppose to be shipped to the palace.
Minzzi led the team of people. The guests were seated as the queen came with Shi Yee who was wearing the royal attire that was meant for the prince.
Both of them stood under the hanging durians anxiously. They waited for the princess-to-be to arrive.
The choir started singing all of a sudden
"She's here!" Someone shouted from the crowd.
Tarzana walked in gracefully, wearing the durian gown made by Shi Yee.
Shi Yee and Tarzana stood together in front of the queen.
The ceremony officially started.
"Today, ..." The queen read from the booklet that she was holding.
"This book; I didn't bring my glasses." She put the booklet aside. "Alright, I'll try to improvise. Now, will you, prince BBQ Brian Bakes Queensland take Tarzana to be your wife, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish her and love her today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor her? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
Shi Yee answered, "I..."
"Wait! Stop! I object this wedding!"
It was Cheng Yi.
"He is not the real prince! This is the prince!" She shouted as everyone faced her. Prince BBQ was by her side. He walked until he was in front of Tarzana.
"I will take Tarzana as my wife no matter what." Prince BBQ said wile looking into her eyes.
"Wait! I want to become the prince! I get to rule Bakry!" Shi Yee nagged at the prince.
Cheng Yi walked to him and took him by his hand gently.
"Honey, I love you." She said sweetly and took one of her heels and knocked him out.
"Well, please do continue this lovely wedding. Excuse me, I'll be leaving first. Everyone, please enjoy the wedding." Cheng Yi bid goodbye and dragged Shi Yee onto a horse. She gave Minzzi a smile hinting her to manage the ceremony. She then rode off into the horizon.
"I will take Tarzana as my wife." The prince repeated after Cheng Yi left.
The queen calmly continued, "and will you, Tarzana take prince BBQ Brian Bakes Queensland to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish him and love him today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
She giggled and nodded, "I will."
"You're now husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The queen said and took the durian that was hanging above her. She left the stage to a table where she feast on her own durian.
They both kissed. Tarzana hugged prince BBQ tightly and whispered into his ear.
"I will get all your riches, especially the large pure diamond that weighs like a titanic. Then, I shall divorce you." She kissed him on the cheek before letting him go.
"Where's my crown?" Shi Yee woke up and felt his head, where the gold crown should have been. He looked around to find himself lying beside a waterfall that was surrounded by a forest of trees.
"You! Would leave me for a crown!?" Cheng Yi was angry, volcano erruption angry. She punch, pinched, and beat him up.
"Cheng Yi, I'm sorry. Let's just forget about what had happened for the past few days, please? Let's start all over again. My love." Shi Yee held both of her hands. "Let's start a new life and I'll cherish and love you more than anything in the universe."
Suddenly, a durian fell from nowhere onto Shi Yee's head.
